TinkerMill

Today I did the most simple thing: I showed up. I listened to what the universe was telling me when I found out about the new HackerSpace, and I felt that this would be a great opportunity for myself, and for IQCO, so I went.

And now I am on the board of directors for a HackerSpace opening up in two weeks. This is an awesome opportunity for me to learn the ins and puts of running a HackerSpace. Additionally the city wants to work with us to create a huge space, an incubator, and a general ethos of innovation within the city. It is exactly what I wanted to do with IQCO, but I get to have a running start on this. 

I'm also going to have TinkerMill become a member of The Switchboard. I am thinking I can have a networking party, have them present at the event with others and that will be a source of income for IQCO along with the classes until we get our own place up. Apparently, directors of NPOs also get incomes, which I was unaware of. I will try to get that going in about 6 months so I can work on TM full time. Along with IQCO. And playing for Boulder County Bombers in Longmont as well. This is just one of those things that you have to seize the opportunity as you see it. I get to be a DJ, run networking parties, build a makerspace, found accelerators, and connect thousands of like minded people. 

I may be able to do what I love full time soon. How great would that be? What hacker doesn't want to do that? 

So I must admit that today was a great start to the month. I am already counting my blessings and I am getting things rolling. I don't know how things worked out so perfectly, but I am so thankful that they are. I am thankful for everyone that has believed in what I'm doing, everyone that offered to work with me,and everyone that let me go on my crazy tangents about wanting to start a company. 

Cheers everyone, and have a lovely day.
